I have only ever watched about 2 minutes of it because it is so dire. In the 1970s, people such as Dick Emery and Stanley Baxter were fantastic at portraying women. Mrs Browns Boys doesn`t come anywhere near.
Having sampled a few episodes, I'm still unsure about Mrs Brown. The Christmas special (which was the first one I'd watched) was only just watchable, with all of the jokes predictable and 'telegraphed' well before the punchlines. However tonight's program did have me laughing a lot.
Tonight's real comedy gem was the repeat of episode 2 of Sun Trap. I'd missed episode 1 but it quickly had me convinced that it's the BBC's best comedy programme for years.
I love it and always laugh out loud. They are much funnier live though as I found out when I went to watch them at the Liverpool Empire a couple of years back. We all ached with laughter !
